Review For El Pollo Loco

 This was my first time having El Pollo Loco and needless to say I was highly disappointed considering all the prep work it took and how excited I was to try something new. I did make a few substitutions. I used Vegetable Oil instead of  Corn Oil  and I added Lime juice along with the Orange juice and Lemon juice. I put the chicken in to marinate at 9:30pm Saturday and it marinated until 3:30pm Sunday. Instead of grilling it, I baked it in the oven and then finished it off in the broiler to brown the chicken. I served the chicken with Yellow Rice and Green Peas. We sat down to eat and I was still very excited...then I bit into the chicken. All it tasted like was overly citrusy chicken! I tasted no garlic, no onion, no Cumin, no Oregano, nothing but too much tanginess. Maybe it was my fault because I added the Lime juice or maybe I marinated it too long. I don't know. All I do know is that it was not what I was expecting. Maybe you guys can let me know. Is that what El Pollo Loco is supposed to taste like?? I posted the recipe today.
